About this episode

#464: The $20 Ikea Antilop high chair is ubiquitous and universally loved for its low price…but it’s not a safe seat for your baby to eat. Yeah Baby Goods co-founder Katie Kruithof is here to talk about how to make this high chair safer for baby-led weaning.


Listen to this episode to learn:

  1. Why the Ikea Antilop high chair is unsafe as it is sold…and how to fix that
  2. Why Katie and her husband Brent started Yeah Baby Goods…and what businesses they ran before that
  3. How their high chair footrest has evolved since its inception…and why it’s better than the knockoffs
